"The Tenderloin of San Francisco"

I have in live in San Francisco, CA for over thirty years. Arriving in the early seventies from Baltimore, MD as a military brat living on the Presidio, circumstances beyond my control kept me here.
My current home is in a district call the Tenderloin. While no rent in San Francisco is cheap, the part of town I live have the lowest price rent anywhere in the city. In addition to having low rents, the Tenderloin have the biggest number of people sleeping on the streets and doorways anywhere in the city. In my opinion the large number of homeless people have to do with the two large free meal programs in the city; Glide Church and St Anthony's Church.
In the Tenderloin is also the main branch of San Francisco Public library systems, a great place to find a restroom, use free computers and just chill relaxing looking at books or watching DVD movies.
Walking distance to the downtown area, the Tenderloin is a great place to live if you are lucky enough to get a job downtown. If I could leave San Francisco and the Tenderloin I would, but for now I am grateful to call it my home.
